Maths Week Scotland needs a mascot - or as we like to call it, Mathscot - so we are inviting YOU to help us design one, which will feature prominently in this year's 'Maths Tales' theme.
We have loved hearing from families and schools joining in with our Countdown to the Christmas Holidays, and have rounded up some of the pictures that have been shared with us.
Our Christmas Holiday Countdown is back for 2023! From 1 to 20 December we will be sharing daily maths inspired activities to make the wait for the holidays a little more fun.
30 Years of TechFest's Science Festival kicks off this week (29 Oct - 18 Nov), with events in the Aberdeen as well as online. We've had a browse of the programme and picked out some of our favourite events.
Stirling Science Festival kicks off this week (11 - 14 October) with the theme "Innovations: Past, Present and Future". There's plenty of maths inspired events in the programme, so we've had a browse and picked out some of our favourites.
We have enjoyed seeing what everyone got up to for our extended Maths Week Scotland this year, in particular the different ways everyone was inspired by this year's theme of 'Maths in Motion'. We've picked out a few highlights to share.
If you are looking for some early years fun with shapes then Jo Hall has a new story for you. In 'JoJo Gnome and The Shape Map’, the little Scottish gnome goes for a walk finding shapes outdoors, perfect for this year’s ‘Maths In Motion’ theme.
The big circular windows that take pride of place in many churches and cathedrals, particularly in Gothic architecture, are usually divided into symmetrical sections, with intricate designs made up of shapes. Today, we'll show you how to create your own mini stained glass window, with a symmetrical design.
Shut the Box is a fun dice game for two or more players, though can also be played by one player as a solitaire game. It's a great game for encouraging number recognition and practicing addition and number bonds.
We have another fun card game to share with you today, that is great for number recognition and for practicing number sequences. It is know as 'Trash' or "Garbage'.
Earlier this year, we ran a competition inviting children from Pre-School through to S3 to design a poster for this year's Maths Week Scotland theme, Maths in Motion. Check out the winners' gallery!
We love a good brain teaser here at Maths Week Scotland, and in today's craft activity you can get hands on with your very own DIY bead & string puzzle.
